Lack of features…

Posted on 2nd June 2009 by Vasilich in Miranda IM
just for me to keep track on it in next Miranda versions

MIM 08 will be released soon, and since 1.6.2009 feature freeze for stable 08 branch was declared. Unfortunately some of often requested features weren’t implemented. Here are some features, which, in my opinion, should be definitely addressed during 09 development:

  • unicode in paths for file transfers
  • unicode in profile path and filename
  • unicode in contact search dialogs
  • unicode in authorization requests
  • unicode in status messages
  • all types of authorization events in API (like auth grant, auth deny, auth request etc.) and appropriate sound events
  • status change API should be able to set status message together with status change in one event
  • in-core  support of metacontacts (actually any way of joining of some contacts)
  • current folder structure should be revised, because right now I see rather strange set of  predefined subfolders that does not fit to my logical approach.

Any comments? Suggestions? Or, maybe, you think I forgot something, or there are more important things to implement?
